Be a “Cabin Creator”! Sponsor a Cabin “Part”!Financial Help Needed Now to Finish the Hut Project

Volunteers worked hard over the summer, putting in hundreds of hours. Now we need cash to finish this thing. Please contribute. No amount is too small. Donations of $1,500 or more come with lifetime membership!

Here are some suggestions:

Be one of a handful of Manitoba Cabin Creators: Donate a minimum of $1,000 (individual) or $1,500 (family) and be one of the up to ten Cabin Creators listed permanently in the cabin.

Sponsor a “cabin part” and have your name acknowledged permanently in the hut:

Sponsor the centerpiece of the kitchen, the cooking range and oven, with adjacent counters and shelves ($1,000).

Alaska Hut has been fortunate to have a federal grant from several years ago, through the USDA State and Private Forestry program, and to have a recent federal grant through the Kenai Mountains – Turnagain Arm National Heritage Area. These grants provide the bulk of Manitoba Cabin funding. The KMTA NHA grant requires matching by non-federal funds and in-kind donations. Perhaps you had hoped to help out in person over the summer but schedules never meshed; now’s the time you can help with the “match” by sending in a donation. Thank you for considering it.

Monetary contributions will go to finishing off the interior, including final flooring in 2013, the kitchen, tables, bunks, entryway, etc., and will go to external touches such as a permanent structure for firewood storage and bear-proof food storage.

Wish List. Help us outfit the hut.

Alaska Huts seeks donations of new or gently used household items that are sturdy and will hold up well.
